Bonjour mes amis! This week’s mix is brought to you by the letter “L” — which is the first letter in leukemia and lymphoma. I know, blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma are real Debbie Downer things, but the good news is that every year the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society raises a large amount of cash to continue research in fighting blood cancers. One way they do it is through Team in Training, where people train with coaches to do crazy things like, oh, ride 100 miles around Lake Tahoe in June. If you couldn’t guess by now, I’m training to do “America’s Most Beautiful Bike Ride” in June, and that means I’m spending a lot of time in the saddle trying to build up my endurance. Because I get bored just listening to myself breathe heavy and periodically swear while riding down the road, I load my iPod with a “bike mix” to help me stay motivated — so this week’s mix is culled from that bike playlist to help you (if you like working out) move a little faster than you’re used to.
Riders to your marks! (more…)
